Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Heap-based Buffer Overflow in the processing of stream headers within ASF files due to improper validation of the length of user-supplied data before copying it to a fixed-length heap-based buffer. An attacker can achieve arbitrary code execution by enticing a user to open a specially crafted ASF file.
